How did you feel upon leaving school?

[Been There]

I enjoyed going to school. I had a fair social life because I spent a lot of time doing my chores on the farm and studying.
I did really well in school and college. I have to say I enjoyed high school more than College. Going to a military Academy
is much different from going to a public university.

overall feeling I recall was sadness - I had enjoyed my time there and new I would eventually disconnect from many - we were also a co-ed school so missing the girls was part of that - one I briefly had a romance with and then parted - looking back ???- ah well - most of us disengaged of course eventually

- old pal who welcomed me into the school as a new incomer from elswhere had supported my entry - became good friends and then eventually much later in working life departed/emigrated to Canada and then 20 years later died in a head on car collision - I visited his grave/plaque on a visit there and all I could murmur was " ya a long way from home lad - long way from home - and that was the end of a long friendship and era! - I often wander who deals the cards ????
